The time for blogging, chat rooms and message boards online are increasingly popular over the Internet. Many people use these online ways of communicating with people on a daily basis but are unaware of the danger of malicious spam or code one might be opening their computers to. Numerous studies have been done to measure the amount of malicious codes or spam sites may produce when entering into these communication sites and the result are very scary. Most people including myself purchase additional software to help alleviate the detriment of malicious wrongdoing it may cause.
At my place of work, we have a very safe guarded type of software that will catch or not allow the user to enter in with out giving a prior warning. Nothing is full proof, especially with the bad guys finding new ways of dismantling current software to be able to penetrate into the system.
I correlated this article to the different types of policies that are mentioned in the chapter and how spam or malicious code cause companies to spend a substantial amount of their capital to neutralize from being the next victim. It'll be interesting to see if a hybrid type of software is designed to automatically breakdown or delete the harmful sites that are on the Internet.
